Bremont Altitude SOLO-34 LC Automatic – SOLO-34/LC-WH

The SOLO-34/LC-WH is a watch designed to honor Lettice Curtis, the pioneering World War II pilot, recognized as the first woman to qualify to fly a four-engine bomber. Crafted by Bremont, the timepiece features a polished stainless steel case with Trip-Tick® construction, showcasing a signature coating inspired by aerospace industry techniques for high impact resistance and a polished finish. Its convex sapphire crystal, treated with nine layers of anti-reflective coating, enhances legibility.

The watch houses a modified calibre 11 1/2’’’ BE-92AV automatic chronometer movement, with 25 jewels, Glucydur balance, Anachron balance spring, and a Bremont-molded and skeletonized decorated rotor. Functions include hour, minute, second, and a date display at 6 o'clock. Meticulously machined in three parts, the case has a stainless steel back with an integrated flat exhibition crystal, secured by four polished screws.

With a water resistance of 100 meters and chronometer rating to the ISO 3159 standard, the SOLO-34/LC-WH pays tribute to Lettice Curtis's legacy. Bremont emphasizes its commitment to reinvigorating the British watch industry, highlighting that each watch is hand-built by Bremont-trained assemblers at their Manufacturing & Technology Centre in Henley-on-Thames. The passage underscores the historical significance of British watchmaking, citing that in 1800, half of the world's watches were British-made, and Bremont's mission is to contribute to the resurgence of watchmaking on British shores.
